WTB early powerstroke engine mount

[Claytonpn]

Hi there, I am looking for the engine mount plates for an early 7.3.

FYI, IDI and PSD plates that bolt to the cross member are the same.

I am actually looking for the plates that bolt to the engine, Thanks.

I suspect those can be had new for reasonable money. Check Rock Auto and don't forget the discount code from the advertisers section. Offsets some of the shipping.

I can only find the engine mounts themselves but will keep looking, Thanks!

you will need a lot of luck.
don't think you will find them new.
I was in your position a few years back, and had the best luck on this site and others.
I remember using IDI plates. but I am unclear. I have ******** of both generations lol
in the next week or so, I will be pulling my PS out of my 63 and replacing it with an IDI.
I have 1 side for an IDI, that I wont be using. maybe ill find its pair...

That'd be cool, the engine I am putting in my 80 is out of a 98 e-superduty and the idi plates don't bolt on.

So you need a motor mount?? I'm confused. Motor mounts can be had. What I don't know is how they attach to the block.

the steel plate that bolts to the block to accept the engine mount.
its a 3 piece design just like the IDI's

I'm really confused then. I get the plate mount to the crossmember but I though he was looking for the motor mounts. That do-dad I linked is the motor mount and if it is like the IDI (but not identical) this is what he needs...I think. ;dunno

No its what the motor mount bolts to on the engine block.
